Ballyhoo!

Ballyhoo! are a self-proclaimed Beach Rock band from Maryland. For over 20 years, the band has been dragging the Chesapeake coast’s restless energy into venues across the US, Japan, and Canada, blending pop punk, reggae, and rock into something contagiously, effortlessly fun. Their music has landed on Jimmy Buffett’s Radio Margaritaville, Spotify’s Beach Vibes, Soak up the Sun, and Essential Ska editorial playlists — which tells you everything you need to know.

Live, they hit different. The energy is contagious, the hooks are relentless, and nobody leaves unhappy. They’ve earned their place on stages on the Vans Warped Tour, Oceans Calling, Reggae Rise Up and supporting slots for 311, Reel Big Fish, Dirty Heads, and Less Than Jake. This summer, they’re heading to Europe for the first time to play the BrakRock and Punk Rock Holiday festivals.
